Dirty Runner Technical Top Review & Giveaway

Are you a sweaty runner? Are ya a little dirty? Have you heard of Dirty Runner yet?!?!

I received the "Beach" technical top (HERE) from the "Pretty Dirty Girl" Collection (HERE). The Pretty Dirty Girl collection also has the Tatoo style (HERE) and the Rockstar style (HERE). These may be some of the most hip running tops I've seen yet!

There was some debate about the size to order me. I typically wear a medium, but Diane thought a small may fit me better. I decided to stick with the medium and it fit perfectly. I tend to be broad/thick through the shoulders and chest and this fit me well.

The fabric is soft and is moisture-wicking. There are NO TAGS and flatlock seams to reduce chafing (yeah!). The site states that the cut is flattering .... and I agree. I felt cute and comfortable when I wore this. Available in sizes S, M and L. Retails $74.99 (CDN) which is a little steep for me.

The top is light and airy. This will be perfect for fall and spring, when it can be a little cool when you start and need long sleeves but don't want to overhead a mile or two into a long run. Super comfortable, too. No seams = no chaffing, rubbing or itching. I love that the fun designs are on the front ... and the back ... and the sleeves. People can see how cute you are coming or going on the course. I love the shade of blue, too.

I absolutely love the Beach shirt and saw it for the first time over the summer at BR100 when a runner came though my aid station wearing it. The runner actually knows the designer and directed me to the site. I LOVE this shirt!

Kirstie that would be GailAnne. She is a great friend from our ultra scene up here in Canada AND she has helped us out tremendously with the races we put on. Thanks so much to you and all the ladies for your interest in our new line. Small world!
